Practice of Environment and Planet

Practice of Environment and Planet

Taru, through this practice, has established itself as a leading firm in understanding the environment and the planet's concerns and developing insights and solutions through analysis, mapping, preparing plans and policies for risk reduction, adaptation, and mitigation. Our active involvement has been in the preparation of composite risk atlas, evaluation frameworks for loss and damage, monitoring hydro-met risks, building vulnerability assessments, 3D terrain modeling, origin & destination solutions, design of Disease Surveillance Systems (DSS), and implementation of Early Warning Systems (EWS) for extreme rainfalls, urban floods, heatwaves, air pollution, and other hazards. Our efforts to strengthen the continuum of climate-disaster resilience and sustainability from a multi-sector perspective are widely recognized. Our clean, resilient, and nature-based technologies and solutions through decentralized urban water management systems, urban lake rejuvenation techniques, and cool roofing technologies for buildings have contributed significantly to the sector. 

While the practice is geared towards providing solutions for hazard risk assessment, vulnerability analysis, disaster loss, and damage assessment, planning for risk reduction and post-disaster need assessment, adaptive solutions, climate change, and sustainability advisories, the practice offers comprehensive response by organizing its initiatives through strategic sector interventions in: 

Our work prioritizes the poor and most vulnerable populations and helps identify options for including them within the risk and resilience framework. Our initiatives in disaster risk assessment, management, and resilience have been extensively refereed and used by the Government, International Aid Agencies, and other stakeholders to identify areas for interventions, fund allocation for risk-informed development, and decide relief packages post major disaster events.
